Re: pictures of your guitars here

That cream Gibbo is pure hotness, presume it's one of those 70s called either the Les Paul Motivator or Gnathus. Would love to hear about it!

Re: pictures of your guitars here

Not quite twins. I'll be glad when 20 years of aging brings the JM (2004) into the ballpark of the Jag (1985).

Re: pictures of your guitars here

Ooh yes, I’ve had a lot of work on this week but I’ve been meaning to bust out the red Jag for a photo op. I’ve had it tucked away for months since the Squier one arrived.

Re: Even more stupidity: Greco Super Sounds "Telemaster Custom" mashup

That's a pretty cool idea - or maybe a "little 59" except WRHB config.
I might go for the black cover for the full blackout experience, but can always switch back and forth ...

Re: Even more stupidity: Greco Super Sounds "Telemaster Custom" mashup

Updates: new tuners (not period correct, sue me), new knobs, bridge set up (chemically aged, I would normally despise this but it looked way too shiny), everything dialed in apart from the neck pickup.

Re: I got to fuck around with a real fender marauder last night

Surprised you'd have an accurate Marauder made by Fender then specify dots instead of block markers. Impressed they had all the plates etc!

I think the pickup is probably out of that ToneRider stable, all the materials are dead-on (fibreboard, waxed string et...
